= Railgun
{wiki=Railgun}
A railgun is a type of electromagnetic weapon that uses electrical energy to launch high-velocity projectiles. It operates based on the principles of electromagnetism, specifically utilizing a pair of conductive rails and a sliding armature. When a strong electric current flows through the rails, it creates a magnetic field that propels the armature and the attached projectile along the rails at extremely high speeds, often exceeding the speeds of traditional firearms.
